good morning. it's wednesday 25th april. i'm annita mcveigh. welcome to bbc newsroom live. in the next hour, a danish court will deliver its verdict in the trial of a man accused of killing the journalist, kim wall. the 30—year—old swedish reporter went missing after she was invited to interview the inventor peter madsen aboard his homemade submarine. her dismembered remains were found at sea 11 days later, in august last year. let's speak to our correspondent maddy savage who's in copenhagen. and has been following the trial.

perhaps you could remind us as we wait on the verdict of the cases outlined by the defence and the prosecution. yes, the centre of this case, kim wall, a young journos who had been hoping to move to china with her danish boyfriend, had this one story she wanted cover before that trip, interviewing peter madsen on his thumb ring. she did not come back from that journey alive. thumb ring. she did not come back from thatjourney alive. the defence and prosecution have outlined wildly different versions of what they say happened on that night. prosecutors say peter madsen intended to kill kim wall, he brought a store on dog in heat killed her either by strangling or slitting her throat. during a violent videos hours before she boarded. peter madsen has given

three different versions of what he said happened. he said he dropped him off the slate on dry land. then he said she died when a door hatch fell on her head. he's got to the third story of his, died by toxin themes, getting trapped in a different part of the submarine. he has admitted dismembering her body but denies killing her. his lawyers are focused on the fact that there is no forensics evidence to conclusively disproves his version of events. there is global media interest in this case. a huge amount of global media interest. this is one of the most high profile murder trials in scandinavian history. crowd of journalists from around the world have turned up to cover the story, from france, germany, sweden, just to namea from france, germany, sweden, just to name a few. waiting for that verdict, there are a number of different options that could come out here in court. he could be found

guilty of murder, be typical sentence about here that this kind of crime could be life in prison which would be about 16 years in jail. what his lawyers are arguing for his for a six—month sentence, they just want to be found guilty of dismembering a body. there is a third option, something called safe custody in debacle, which means if thejudge does not custody in debacle, which means if the judge does not find custody in debacle, which means if thejudge does not find him guilty of murder, the police peter madsen to bea of murder, the police peter madsen to be a danger to society, he could still be locked up in definitely under the watch of doctors. thank you. we are waiting on the verdict to bring you news of it when it comes. the parents of alfie evan the seriously ill child who the courts have said should be allowed to die, are to challenge a ruling preventing them from taking him to italy for further treatment. the 23—month—old's life support was withdrawn on monday after a court decided the alder hey children's hospital in liverpool could end his care.

ajudge has since said his parents could take him home. but they want to move their son to a hospital in rome. alfie was first admitted to hospital in december 2016 when he was suffering seizures — he was just seven months old. 12 months later, the hospital and alfie's parents couldn't agree over his care. alder hey applied to the high court to remove ventilation and end parental rights. in february this year, the high court backed alder hey and all subsequent appeals so far have failed. earlier this month protestors began to gather outside the hospital. some are accused of abusing staff and intimidating other patients. last week alfie's father met the pope, who has pledged his support for the toddler to be treated in rome. but the courts here have stood firm. on monday night, alfie's ventilation was withdrawn and yesterday a high courtjudge said he should end his life in a hospital, hospice or his home, but not abroad. with more on this, here's keith doyle. the parents of alfie evans have not

given up theirfight to have him moved out of the country for treatment, despite a high court judge ruling against it, saying it was not in the toddler's best interests. last night, following that ruling, alfie's father tom said that that the 23—month—old was doing 0k and the family have been allowed to appeal. we want to go to italy. everyone‘s ready, alfie's ready, so now we see what the three judges in the court of appeal can do for us, and even if we don't achieve to get to italy, then the judge is still offering us a chance to get home. alfie has been in alder hey since december 2016 with a rare degenerative, neurological condition. supporters of the child's family tried to storm the hospital on monday, shortly before his life—support was withdrawn when a court ruled doctors could end his care. his parents want him to be transferred to hospital in rome, a move which is supported by the pope, whom alfie's father tom met last week.

last night, supporters of the family were outside the hospital. inside, alfie's parents stayed at the boy's side. the courts have said he should receive end of life care at the hospital, at a hospice, or possibly at home. his parents say a plane is on stand—by to take him to italy if the court of appeal rules in their favour this afternoon. keith doyle, bbc news. our north of england correspondent judith moritz is outside alder hey children's hospital. a desperately sad case. what do you out the pot family they would be different about the treatment they make the able to get in italy compared to the treatment he has had there? —— alfie pot family. this is formed the crux of the arguments of the very beginning. they have always been saying that they wanted our feed to be taken to

they wanted our feed to be taken to the hospital which has links to the vatican. —— they wanted alfie. they area vatican. —— they wanted alfie. they are a catholic family and they wa nted are a catholic family and they wanted alfie to be treated there. they comes down to differences in the palliative care and of life treatment. and the fact that the family don't agree with alder hey's analysis of the little boy's case which is he can't have any hope of recovery, that there is no more help that can be given to him. as you saw in that report on monday night this week, ventilation, the family tell us, the hospital have not confirmed this, the family told us on monday night that ventilation had been removed from alfie. the leicester but he has been on here for 18 months has been taken away. —— the life support that he has been on. since that point, he has been breathing with the assistance of oxygen, and a thew new drugs which are part of the palette of plan here

at the hospital. the family are saying that alfie is surpassing expectations, he is still alive, coping with minimal oxygen and they say that is what gives them confidence now to approach the courts are going to argue that that means he could survive the journey over to rome to the hospital over there. the courts have always said that that journey in there. the courts have always said that thatjourney in itself is something that alfie would not survive and the doctors here at alder hey say that as well, that's really the options alder hey have a lwa ys really the options alder hey have always said that alfie should not be moved from here at all. yesterday the high court judge moved from here at all. yesterday the high courtjudge said that alder hey should look more creatively at things now consider whether alfie could be taken to a hospice or perhaps home, to the family home of the north—west of the uk, but not over to rome. that is what the argument is about now, that is what will be aired in court of appeal this afternoon. just as i speak to you, the polish

president has tweeted his support for alfie everything he must be saved, his brave little body has proved again that the miracle of life can be stronger than death, perhaps all is needed is goodwill on the part of decision—makers. that wheat from the poland president. what reaction has there been to those comments by the high court judge yesterday saying some of those around the evans family have not really been helping the debate? this is a very complicated situation in terms of the support for this family as well because i went to the first court hearing several weeks ago in liverpool, which there were supporters turning up by the judge noted that and said, i can see that you are wearing t—shirts that read alfie's army. we are all on alfie's side. there are lots of differences

of opinion about what is in his best interest but thejudge of opinion about what is in his best interest but the judge accepted that everybody really was motivated by that. since that point, several weeks ago or months ago when these first court hearings began, as you can hear the car horns beeping behind me, that have been protests here at the hospital, there was a situation yesterday where crowds came in and tried to get into the main entrance. this is a busy hospital with plenty of other six children and has caused disruption. the hospital told they should take that there is a helpline and families have appointments are not concerned about being able to get here, there is business as usual with extra security, they can frame the helpline for more information. this morning, there's a lot of media here, there's also been a police presence here on site as well. there's an added complexion to this

now, there have been crowds and voters, a huge sense of feeling here in liverpool and also your talks about that wheat from the polish prime minister, across the world, this is a case which has been picked up this is a case which has been picked up by this is a case which has been picked up by the media and also last week when alfie's dad went and met the pope, the pope as we did support for the family as well. it is has had huge social media present, stayed in the public eye, continue to attract public support. the other point of view is reflected as well, people are finding it disruptive and are concerned about the effect that this may be having an patient inside her. thank you very much. breaking news. com cast has announced a $22 billion rival bead for sky. that is move that threatens

rupert murdoch's deal, attempted deal to take full control of sky. rupert murdoch is trying to do that then now us media giant comcast has announced a rival bid for sky. they are offering £22 billion, not dollars. i did the dollars before. £22 billion. that is another rival bid alongside disney. we will be talking more about this in the next short while. government sources have dismissed claims there were heated exchanges between the prime minister and the foreign secretary in cabinet over immigration policy. it's understood borisjohnson called for an amnesty for some illegal immigrants and a wider exemption for more commonwealth citizens. i'm joined from westminster by our assistant political editor norman smith. good morning. tell us more about what these sources are saying.

fascinating details of merging of what seems a fairly sharp spat between boris johnson what seems a fairly sharp spat between borisjohnson and the prime minister over this crucial issue of immigration. as part of a discussion about the government's response to the wind rush candle at which boris johnson suggested that the government needed to go further in terms of ensuring commonwealth citizens could remain in the uk. on top of that, he also suggested there should be a broader amnesty for illegal immigrants who have been here for some time, wraps up to ten or 15 years. some of whom mrjohnson suggests may have a completely clean record, they have done nothing wrong, they have paid their taxes, a broader amnesty for them. but if the idea which mrjohnson has neutered before, he needed that when he was mayor of london. mrs may apparently

shot back, most voters favour strong immigration controls, what is so interesting about it is this comes 24 interesting about it is this comes 2a hours after amber rudd unveiled a package of concessions to try and draw a line under the whole windrush saga. now you're borisjohnson and the cabinet saying actually we have got to go quite a bit further, on top of that it seems to me challenging what has been really pa rt challenging what has been really part and parcel of mrs may's political make—up in recent years, an aggressive approach to try and drive down the immigration numbers to the tens of thousands. here you have boris johnson to the tens of thousands. here you have borisjohnson thing to her face, forget that, we need a note legal amnesty which would mean a lot more migrants coming into cabinet. the tensions between two of the very top of gum at over this critical issue of immigration, particularly in the aftermath of the windrush

saga. david davis has been in front of the brexit selection committee, what have they been saying? one thing that i think a lot of people are beginning to look out with a degree of interest is his confirmation that when we have been meaningful vote, comedy, commerce gets to vote on the final deal that mrs may brings back from brussels, that will be amendable. mps will be able to police amendments to that motion which can say all sorts of things, why don't we take a bit longer to sort out this deal? why do you not go back and negotiate a better deal? why don't we have a second referendum ? better deal? why don't we have a second referendum? it opens up a pandora's box of options. have a listen. the government is unlikely to put a vote to the house which it does not intend to take properly seriously, yes. sorry, what does that mean? what i have just said. in other words, if the house rejects the proposed negotiation then that negotiation will fall.

mr davies would not be drawn on what happens with the mps wrote to extend the article 50 process, he said he was confident the government would win but wrote. —— when that vote. i'm joined from brussels by our correspondent adam flemming. talking are possibly a long period of ratification by the eu member states, ultimate brexit deals, consisting of different agreements on things like trade and security. he leads the european parliament's work on brexit and remember, they get a final vote on the final deal so our important part of the whole process , so our important part of the whole process, he was given his regular update to meps what the latest in

the negotiations and he made an interesting point that he was referring to that, at the moment looks like the brexit deal could be lots of different deals. the withdrawal agreement, the political declaration, a free—trade agreement, maybe a separate treaty on security, a different of agreement on schering top—secret intelligence data, all sorts of things and he would think if all of those deals have to be a great one by one, some had to be approved by national parliament and the other 27 member states, you could be looking at years and years of this process is rumbling on. he said the solution to that is too great an association agreement, a big box signed off by the eu they convert various other things into, and much easier process to manage. that is medium to long term. the other thing he was talking about in the short and was the practice to issue for the european parliament as citizens' rights, eu nationals who wish list the uk after brexit. they had a meeting with the home office

yesterday where they devastated the application process by eu nationals will have to go through to get what is called settled status. guy verhofstadt left the meeting yesterday saying he thought lots of work and then done on this and he was quite impressed that he still had some questions, for example, how would vulnerable people be able to use the system if they did not use the internet. but individual families, every single family member have to apply separately awkward one family do it all together? he is writing to amber rudd andy michel barnier to ask them questions and seeks clarification about those issues on how eu nationals will be treated. thank you. the headlines on bbc newsroom live: a verdict is due shortly, in the trial of a danish inventor accused of murdering and dismembering swedish journalist kim wall on his submarine the parents of seriously ill toddler alfie evans will challenge a high court ruling preventing him travelling to italy for further treatment. the brexit secretary says he expects parliament to "uphold"

our home affairs correspondent tom symonds reports. three, two, one. it's called bs8414 in the jargon. a standard fire test to prove that materials used on buildings are safe. they set light to a stack of wood and measure what happens. the government did this test after g re nfell tower. but today's report says the test itself is failing. why? because it doesn't take account of what happens in the real world, what happens on buildings like this. the association of british insurers commissioned their own test of the test. their experts switched 20% of the wood used to start the fire with plastic, which often fuels real blazes. result, a test fire which was 100 celsius hotter than the standard test with wood. another example in this test, the panels were installed from bottom to top with no gaps between them. the fire barely gets started.

but on real buildings, the facades do have gaps, either by design or by poor workmanship. look what happened when that was tested. oxygen driving the fire upwards. we were shocked by the findings. they demonstrate just how out of date the current testing regime is and how important it is to take account of how these building materials are used in practice, notjust how they perform in a lab condition. after the tragedy here, the government asked a senior engineer to review building regulations on testing. she will report soon. the insurance industry wants one of her findings to be a rethink of the fire test. tom symonds, bbc news. five major roads and motorways in wales will be given 50 miles—per—hour speed limits in an effort to tackle air pollution. a £20 million fund is being used to improve air quality after the government failed to meet eu targets on air pollution. the welsh government wants to cut nitrogen

dioxide levels on roads where they are above the legal limits. the aim is to bring in temporary speed limits to the five routes byjune this year. our correspondent tomos morgan is in cardiff for us now. what is the garment sewing about evidence cutting the speed will improve air quality? a temporary reduction of speed limits across five of the major roads across wales and they say by reducing the speed limit is 250 mph, they will be reducing emissions by around 18%. —— 50 mph. five of the main roads, the two sections of the mfall, the only motorway across south wales. a section of the a470. and to maintain roads in the north—east of england. this is part

ofa north—east of england. this is part of a £20 million plan by the welsh government announced yesterday to combatair government announced yesterday to combat air pollution but this all came about back injanuary when the high court ordered ministers in wales to act after they failed to meet eu targets on air pollution. it is thought that air pollution contributes to run 2000 deaths in wales and is second only to smoking, according to public health england in terms of the privatisation of certain aspects of health. there has been a response from certain areas to this temporary restriction. plaid cymru and the welsh conservatives have criticised the legal welsh government of being too slow to act to the high court's decision. the rac have given a mixed response saying that they question whether reducing speed limits on sections of the m4 which is prone to lots of traffic jams will actually the m4 which is prone to lots of trafficjams will actually reduce emissions and the aa said they should not be another lung busting of diesel vehicles, but it should be a recognition of badly serviced

vehicles with high carbon emission should be tackled here as well. there will be a consultation beginning today by the worst government, they will be looking at creating clean air zones where there will be restrictions or maybe stopping access to high carbon emission vehicles. all of this and effort of course to curb the issue across wales. thank you very much. labour is promising to settle the "vast majority" of the outstanding cases of alleged anti—semitism within the party by the end ofjuly. jeremy corbyn met members of thejewish leadership council and the board of deputies of british dues yesterday, but they said the talks were a "disappointing, missed opportunity". it was cordial but there was a complete lack of substance. we got lots of warm words and we suggested a pretty minimal list of outcomes

which would put some action to the words and we got none of them. the shadow trade secretary insisted the party is taking the matter very seriously. it's not about words and here they are absolutely right., it's about actions. now, i am really pleased that there will be a further meeting with the board of deputies and the jlc and i hope that in the intervening couple of months between now and that next meeting, they will see that real concrete action has taken place, that the labour party has got a grip of this issue underjeremy's leadership and it is being dealt with and eradicated from our party because it is a stain, it is a shameful stain on our party. i'm joined from westminster by the labour mp wes streeting. one of the accusations being levelled atjeremy corbyn is that he is hiding behind the process. do you think he is? i think it is bitterly

disappointing that the meeting that jeremy had with the board of dead trees and thejewish leadership council ended —— are rendered with the practical actions that the labour party can take. i think there are areas where each of us has individual agency. for example, the fa ct individual agency. for example, the fact that my labour parliamentary colleague shows the platform with jackie walker whose statements about jewish people are clear as the nose on my face, been made repeatedly publicly. it should not be hard to expect any reasonable, decent minded labourmp or labour expect any reasonable, decent minded labour mp or labour member to the that what chris williamson has done and continues to do is wrong. barry

gardner, the shadow trade secretary, said that very clearly this morning on the today programme, that he thought chris williamson's actions we re thought chris williamson's actions were wrong. jeremy corbyn has more agency and more power than anyone else in the labour party. he is the most powerful labour leader we have had since tony blair in terms of the extent to which jeremy had since tony blair in terms of the extent to whichjeremy is able to command the support of his shadow cabinet, the national executive committee, of the trade unions, the party leadership, headquarters, so there is plenty thatjeremy can do. i hope that between now and the next meeting injuly i hope that between now and the next meeting in july that beyond expulsions, that there will be more practical concrete steps thatjeremy can take. but i've read his piece in the evening standard yesterday, i thought it was powerful forjeremy corbyn to say to people in the labour party that anti—semitism is a

general problem, we have not handled it well, that he is sorry... there was an interview this morning, he engages in a conversation until the point where you asked him to do something. he does not seem to want to own the words. that is the quote from mr goldstein. you are talking about an interview in a newspaper that if we take into account the fa ct that if we take into account the fact that mr corbyn has the majority of these cases will be dealt with by the end ofjuly, is that enough your opinion? the challenge is thatjerry could not be clearer in that piece he wrote for the evening standard. there are still people who are claiming to be his supporters and denying that there is a problem and accusing labour mps like me of

smears. jeremy corbyn has got to a point that is accepted as a problem and something must be done but when given individual examples or prattle things can be done, suddenly, the words don't translate into action. —— practical things that can be done. actions speak louder than words. people are not buying up warm words, they want to see practical action and that was why i was pretty depressed after the meeting, seeing the outcome of it. i was hoping there would be more practical process made. i do not think it is right orfairon process made. i do not think it is right or fair on decent minded members of the labour party, including ourjewish members who spoke so movingly about the abuse they suffered. that we not at the point of taken seriously. how much

ofan point of taken seriously. how much of an ongoing problem is this the unity of the labour party? it is an ongoing problem. we ought to be able to unite around tackling anti—semitism. the fact that we haven't reached consensus is a big problem for us. this is a moral response the lizzie to tackle racism in our ranks. it is not about appearances or how it looks. this is about living up to our party and our pa rty‘s values. about living up to our party and our party's values. let's take a look at the weather forecast. the clouds have started to gather and build up. the cloud will continue to build and we may see one or two of these. precursors to some thundery downpours. we could see a few thunderstorms this afternoon but quite a few showers moving from west

to east across the united kingdom. fairly blustery and some sunny spells. maximum temperatures in the south up to 15 degrees. in the north, 12, maybe 13 degrees. at the north, 12, maybe 13 degrees. at the north west of scotland and northern ireland as a going to thursday, some showers around here. fewer showers towards england and wales compared towards england and wales compared to today so a lengthy, dryer, sunny spells expected. temperatures here up spells expected. temperatures here up to 60 degrees but further north, today, about ten to 30 degrees. our latest headlines. a verdict is due shortly in the trial of the danish inventor accusing of murdering and dismembering sweetest journalist kim wall. —— swedish

hailed his talisman mohammed salah as world—class after their stunning 5—2 win over roma at anfield in the first leg of their champions league semi—final. i spoke to former liverpool defender stephen warnock who said the club's supporters inside anfield had played their part. it always plays a part. huge occasions at anfield and the fans are incredible. they are a 12th man and it really feeds into the players and it really feeds into the players and isa and it really feeds into the players and is a massive boost. salah was an inspirational form and is a massive boost. salah was an inspirationalform last and is a massive boost. salah was an inspirational form last night. and is a massive boost. salah was an inspirationalform last night. is he in the top three players in the world ? in the top three players in the world? 100%. he in the top three players in the world? 10096. he looks an playable at times. i think you have to hold your hands up to the likes of messy and renaldo and it's the many years now. ata renaldo and it's the many years now. at a consistent level but he is playing some of the best football but i think anyone has seen in the

last 12 months. would you see as the frontrunner at the moment? yes. on form. the problem is, we always look at messi as one of the main men but you can't leave salah out of the equation. how do you thinkjurgen klopp pritchett? he can't see them not scoring. i think it's early to buy flights to the next big match. a big ask liverpool but i do see them scoring goals. one of feith pulse

criminal website blamed for launching more than 4 million cyber attacks around the world has been taken down following a major international investigation. the attacks included attempts to crash banks here in the uk. here is our correspondent. the scale of the criminal activity undertaken by this operation, quite something. this website which has been taken down, over the last 26 hours, i understand from the national crime agency that the operation has just been completed. the operation was enormous. webstresser.org has been posing as a legitimate service. so that businesses could test their cyber defences. what webstresser.org was doing was selling the means that anyone anywhere in the world, you or

i. anyone anywhere in the world, you or i, does matter who, who said that i wa nt to i, does matter who, who said that i want to attack that particular website, it could be here at the bbc, it could be your school if you're angry with your school results and you can pay as little as $15. results and you can pay as little as $15, about £8 and that website would fire off an attack at the target. the way it did it was quite simply sending masses of data at the target website. it sounds technical but the impact of this is that website goes off—line. in november of last year, seven uk banks, including some high street names, we are not a position to say who they work, came as a massive attack from customers who are buying services from webstresser.org. formerly attacks this website has carried out over the last couple of years. what has happened the last 26 hours or so is that a coalition of law enforcement agencies, national crime agency, police scotland, sentence case the

canadians and americans, —— canadians and americans, —— canadians and americans, building evidence against the people who are running this. it is taken an awfully long time to get to this point. if you think about trying to detect a burglar, the first in the forensics officers do is look at their fingerprints. they are looking for digital fingerprints in terms of cybercrime. additional clues of who the people who are buying the services, digital crews if you are behind website. this particular website looked official, fa ke particular website looked official, fake identities of its human managers, all data harvested from the web. all very careful forensic work was identified that some of these alleged individuals have been arrested. the interesting british

link as well as the two in scotland is that a property in bradford is being searched today, which is said to be linked to an individual who was behind the high street bank attacks last november so this is a really big operation and i dare say it's the start of an awful lot of work and months to come to figure out who all the customers were. the national crime agency was saying that its own an important message to get out but to a large extent the authorities are involved in a reactive situation when it comes to this sort of thing, the crime happens or the crime begins happen and they have defined those digital but this of course builds all the time. their experience and speed of response builds? yes, it's a real challenge. the digital task forces within law enforcement, one of the

big problems they face is that businesses who were attacked to see their websites go down. they are saying to people, if you have their tax, tell us because only then can we work out where these organised crime groups are working. which services they using and there are many more services like this one like webstresser.org out there today. just one player in this global cyber war. more now on the controversy surrounding the labour party which is facing accusations that it party which is facing accusations thatitis party which is facing accusations that it is failing to properly address anti—semitism in its ranks. clearly, the response from the jewish leadership groups whojeremy corbin met wasn't the response he was hoping for. it doesn't seem to draw a line under this for him. there were two very different accou nts there were two very different a ccou nts of there were two very different accounts of the meeting that took

place between the labour leader and party officials. his team are described it as a positive and constructive meeting that the jewish groups said it was a disappointing, missed opportunity. it seems that the trouble arose around a detail of the trouble arose around a detail of the demands which thejewish groups have set out previously and their frustration that the labour party isn't taking action quickly enough but the two will meet again. there has been some progress made, both sides agreed on that. we are here this morning outside a hearing which is taking place by labour's top disciplinary council into member mark wandsworth who was accused of bringing the party ‘s disrepute, dating back to 2016 when the launch of the chakravarty report into anti—semitism within labour, he accused the labour mp who isjewish,

ruth smeath, of working hand—in—hand with the media. we saw her arrive a couple of hours ago supported by several dozen labour mps who said they were here in solidarity with her and they are expecting strong action. the panel give its decision tomorrow. the defender remains he is innocent, he said that he was not guilty and he expects exonerated as do other people amongst the crowd here. it takes place at a difficult time the labour party when the issue of anti—semitism is very much front and centre and those who are keen to see action against it in labour will be watched recklessly. —— watched very closely. can you change the eating habits of an entire city? food campaigner and chef hugh

cartoon characters on to get the kids excited and add sugar because thenit kids excited and add sugar because then it hits like sugar and a serial but they don't give us the traffic light labels so that is one of those who went in on in the show and is one of the envisages the first programme. briefly tell us about the challenge you put to the people of newcastle. this is really exciting. one thing we know is that people who are trying to lose weight, they're doing it on their own, it is ready hard. if you have a support network around you, family, friends, everything because much more possible. so we decided to get a support network in the form of an entire city. the whole newcastle coming together to support each other to eat more healthily, lose some weight and get fitter sit we have called it newcastle can, positive, and to try and get the whole city to lose 100,000 lbs in

billion bid for sky, which threatens rupert murdoch's own bid. a big bed. much bigger than the existing bits out there. what means the whole process ? out there. what means the whole process? it means that, well the background to this, is that rupert murdoch set up sky 25 years ago and has been trying to buy out the remaining 61% for some time. in swoops comcast, who one of the biggest media companies in the world, nbc universal, big studios in america and they have offered 22 billion for sky and they've offered ata billion for sky and they've offered at a 16% price hike per share to watch sky of offered. so rupert murdoch us to go back and decide whether he wants to offer up his

offer. it's, located. fox and sky wa nt offer. it's, located. fox and sky want sky but murdoch is also selling frocks to disney as well. this will be looked at very closely by lots of regulators that the thing is clear is that when three big companies are trying to buy you, you're in a good state that this is a vote of confidence in sky in who have tens of millions of customers in europe. ina of millions of customers in europe. in a moment, we will have a summary of the business news but first the headlines. a verdict is due shortly in the trial of the danish inventor accused of murdering and dismembering swedishjournalist accused of murdering and dismembering swedish journalist kim wall on his submarine. parents are seriously ill toddler alfie evans will challenge a high court ruling preventing him to travelling to italy for further treatment. the

brexit secretary says he expects parliament to uphold the government's policy of leaving the customs union. it's the biggest coffee chain in the uk and today it's been announced that costa coffee is to be split from parent company whitbread and listed as a separate firm. the move comes after pressure from activist investors, elliott advisors and sachem head, who together control about 10% of shares. whitbread will remain the owner and operator of premier inn hotels. after more than five days of being locked out of their online bank, tsb customers can now access their accounts. but the bank has limited the number of people who can get into their accounts at any one time, because it expects a surge in customers trying to use it. the bank's upgrade to its banking systems has been causing chaos for customers since the weekend. chief executive paul pester said he was "deeply sorry". us media giant comcast has outlined details of its £22 billion rival bid for sky in a move that threatens rupert murdoch's

£11.7 billion deal to take full control of the pay—tv group. comcast has also guaranteed funding for sky news for ten years. the future of sky news has been a cause of concern in the uk. there have been concerns that the fox bid would give the uk too much influence over the uk media industry. some good news at last from the uk retail sector, though not from the high street. online fashion firm boohoo has reported strong full—year sales and profits. the group saw a 97% leap in revenue to just under -- 9196 —— 91% sleep. £580 million in the year to march. bosses mahmud kamani and carol kane said the results had been achieved against the "backdrop of difficult trading in the uk clothing sector". so what has set the likes of boohoo apart from other struggling retailers?

joining us now is sofie willmott, a senior online retail analyst at global data more growth come from market saturation? boohoo has really capitalised on the shift to e—commerce. they've evolved their product range in terms of adding additions such as sportswear, m e nswea r adding additions such as sportswear, menswear and children's work they continue to evolve what they are offering and also the online shopping experience. growth is coming from diversifying in terms of the online shopping experience but they do seem to be a lot of players out there. how do they set themselves apart? there is a lot of competition on the online market and we are seeing the larger players in the market to have the investment to continue to improve their shopping experience and offer customers more. they really do have a good

opportunity to capture that spend. what you think is going on in terms the high street? multichannel retailers, who are online and on high street, they are having more trouble than people who are exclusively online. what is going on out? so these kinds of players including new look and marks & spencer is, these stores need investment as well as the online stores they‘ re investment as well as the online stores they're trying to work with the challenge and see where they need to invest first to see where they can continue to drive their sales. what about the negative role it plays? what do you retailers face online? social media channels are now being used for complaints and to get in touch with the retailers are

the retailers really neat comeback with a positive tone of voice and demonstrate how there brands deals with these issues. deals with these issues. that's all the business news. it's time to take the latest look at the weather. some showers through the afternoon in the uk. lumpy, cumulus cloud that could turn into the big thundercloud because there is a chance of some thunderstorms across the uk this afternoon, with some hail and lightening mixed in with that. in between, some sunny spells. it will feel quite cool and blustery, especially where you get those

showers passing through. 15 degrees further south—east and up to 13 degrees maximum temperatures in the north. scotland and northern ireland going into thursday, still some showers. further south and east across injured and wales, odd shower here are never know near as many as we see through today. lancashire, drier and brighter spells. temperatures up to 16 degrees, blustery conditions over northern areas again and highs and 11 or 12 degrees. this is bbc news, and these are the top stories developing at midday: a verdict is due shortly, in the trial of a danish inventor accused of murdering and dismembering swedish journalist kim wall on his submarine. the parents of seriously ill toddler alfie evans will challenge a high court ruling preventing him travelling to italy for further treatment. the brexit secretary says he expects parliament to "uphold" the government's policy

of leaving the customs union, but suggests it may be able to amend the final vote on brexit. and this is the scene live in the house of commons where prime minister's questions is about to get under way. good afternoon. it's wednesday, 25th april. i'm annita mcveigh. welcome to bbc newsroom live. just before we had to prime minister's questions, letters talk to norman smith at westminster. i just want to ask you about these meaningful vote comments from the

brexit said vijay singh mps would be able to amend these so—called meaningful vote. —— the brexit secretary saying. we know mps are going to get a vote. david davis has confirmed that vote will be amendable. what does that mean? mps can put down amendments to change the motion and some remain mps believe it means they could send mrs may back to the negotiating table to get a different sort of deal. one mp suggested they could, for example, suggest that they need to delay the article 50 process to stay in the customs union and he said to me this reflected the new political realities, the parliamentary arithmetic because our till now, the government has been of mps till now, the government has been of m ps vote till now, the government has been of mps vote on the final deal, then the uk will leave regardless. now the

position seems to be that mps themselves can change the motion perhaps the force mrs may to try again and that, they believe, is a significant development. what can we expect today? interesting, because mr corbyn and mrs may have had a bruising week. mrs may because of the windrush scandal which has in pa rt the windrush scandal which has in part been laid at her door because of the introduction of the changes to immigration rules, the hostile environment for immigrants. that has been very difficult for her. at the same time, jeremy corbyn has faced a very bruising time over anti—semitism and that meeting last night with jewish leaders. anti—semitism and that meeting last night withjewish leaders. both leaders come to pmq ‘s somewhat on the back foot and looking to assert themselves. let's see how they get on.

iam sure on. i am sure the whole house will wish tojoin me in offering our warmest congratulations to the duke and duchess of cambridge on the birth of their son earlier this week. i know members across the house will want tojoin me in marking stephen lawrence's death 25 years ago. for each of those years, the lawrence family have fought heroically to ensure their son's life and death will never be forgotten. as i announced earlier this week, the government will work with the stephen lawrence charitable trust to establish a national annual commemoration of stephen's life and legacy. this morning i have meetings with ministerial colleagues and others in addition to my duties in this house, i shall further such meetings late in the day. can we acknowledge the fortitude of the lawrence family and the joy that this nation shares on the royal bath? -- this nation shares on the royal bath? —— birth. the premise to recognise the need to

give northern ireland and economic boost, she agreed a package of measures including a belfast region city deal, 30 dealfor others measures including a belfast region city deal, 30 deal for others and ultrafast broadband investment. that will transform our part of the united kingdom. in responding to the eager anticipation of our communities and in reaffirming her commitments, while she ensures sufficient progress is made to advance both in time for the autumn budget? cani budget? can i say that he has raised an important issue. he is absolutely right the government has set up several public commitments, including in the cover that will supply agreement to work towards big breadth of an ambitious set of city deals across northern ireland. there is progress being made which i welcome by the belfast city region partners in developing the city deal proposals. i look forward to their submission which will be considered by the government. in the absence of an executive, there are some issues to work through. can i assure the

honourable gentleman that the northern ireland secretary is committed to working positively with partners in the uk government, the belfast city region and the northern ireland civil service to progress the city deal. yesterday with the welsh government reach an agreement with her majesty baulk comment on the withdrawal bill. does the prime minister agree with me that anyjustice scottish people, the scottish national party leaderships should do the same and reach a similar agreement as soon as possible? that i am pleased we are making progress with regard to the withdrawal bill. i think that has been acknowledged by all sides and after many months of negotiation, i would like to pay tribute to my right honourable friend, particularly the chancellor for the work he has done in those negotiations, but after many months we have reached agreement with the welsh government. it is a significant achievement, it will provide legal certainty, increase the powers of the devolved

government and respect the devolution settlement. we have made considerable changes to the bill to reflect issues raised by members and by the devolved administrations. it is indeed disappointing that the scottish government have not yet felt able to add their agreement to the new amendments and we sincerely hope that they will reconsider their position. jeremy corbyn. ijoin the premise in congratulating the duke and duchess of cambridge on the birth of their baby andi of cambridge on the birth of their baby and i wish them well. i think we should also reflect that doreen and neville lawrence fought for yea rs and neville lawrence fought for years to getjustice for the death of their son. the macpherson inquiry showed that institutional racism was a majorfactor in showed that institutional racism was a major factor in the showed that institutional racism was a majorfactor in the inquiry. we need to drive out institutional racism in all its forms wherever it raises its head within our society. mr speaker, we recognise that the

home secretary has rightly apologised to the windrush generation. and made a commitment to compensate people for the hardship they have enjoyed. the government is committed to compensation in theory, but as yet nothing in practice. there is an understandable lack of trust by the windrush generation. can the prime minister today be clear and confirm that those british citizens who have worked, paid taxes here is the decades, wrongly denied pensions and benefits will be fairly compensated? cani compensated? can i say to the right honourable gentlemen it is absolutely right that across this house we should all be absolutely clear in our determination to ensure that we stamp out racism in every form. but let me set up to the house the action that has been taken because my right honourable friend did make

very clear the offering of the other day in her statement before the house that those who came here before the 1st of january 73 from commonwealth countries, this is from commonwealth countries, this is from commonwealth countries, this is from commonwealth countries as a whole, will be offered citizenship status without paying the fee, without taking the knowledge of language and life in the uk test. the children of that generation, the windrush generation who are in the uk, will, in most cases, the british citizens already but they will also be, whether that is not the case, they will be able to apply to nationalise and a further cause. we are taking action in relation to those who make their lives a bit retired to their country of origin i find it difficult to return to the uk and will work with high commissions to make sure they can easily access the offer of former british citizen —— formal british citizenship. there will be a compensation scheme which my right honourable friend will set the details of that compensation

scheme out in due course. but i think everybody will see that the action the government has taken is because we know the windrush derision, the labour front because we know the windrush derision, the labourfront bench shake their heads and go oh, no. they the windrush generation are british. it is not an act of generosity to waver british fees when the british tradition already. four years ago, an internal home office memo stated that her hostile environment policies could make it harder for people like the windrush generation to find homes and it is own words, provoke discrimination. why did the home secretary ignore that memo? the right honourable gentleman talks about a hostile environment. what we are proposing here will, i think,

russian illegal migrants out. we are trying to grade a much more hostile environment in this country if you are here illegally. —— flush illegal migrants out. they are not my words, they the weather be right —— they are the words of the labour immigration minister. the right honourable gentleman sits on his ‘s front bench. mr speaker, what i'm talking about is the windrush generation of people who came here completely legally. the prime minister herself was warned by my friend the member that hackneyed north who is now the shadow home secretary directly about these policies in 2014. when that art was going through parliament, the ventimiglia secretary eric

pickles work to her the cost and risk considerably outweighed the benefits. why did she ignore his adviser as well as a request from my honourable friend ? in relation to the windrush generation, we have made absolutely clear that the windrush generation, those people who came here from the commonwealth before the 1st of january 1973 have a right to be here, they are british and part of us. the problem at the time was they we re us. the problem at the time was they were not documented with that right and that is what we are now putting right. he talks about action that the government has taken in relation to those who are here illegally. the windrush generation are here legally. action against those who are here illegally has been taken by successive governments. checks on economic, and someone's right to work it came in 1997. measures or

actions to benefits came in 1999. civil penalties for employing illegal migrants in 2008. both under a labour government. why have these actions been taken? people want shoddy, is taking action on those people who are here illegally. it is not fair to those people who work hard, who have a right to be heard, who have contributed to this country if they see people who are here illegally being given the same access to rights and services. mr speaker, the prime minister seems to wa nt mr speaker, the prime minister seems to want to get away from the injustice done to the windrush generation. the equalities and human rights commission warned about the 2016 militia that bring the bill is likely to lead to destitution and may cause inhuman and degrading treatment in breach of article three of the european convention of human

rights. they have quite rightly apologised for the scandalous way in which british citizens have been treated but it was due to the 2014 and 16 immigration act, so will the prime minister now commit to reviewing that legislation to make sure this never happens again? asi sure this never happens again? as i stepped up to the house last week, this is a generation who came here prior to 1973... the labour front bench today we know this but the questions that the right honourable gentleman is lasting suggest that they are ignoring some of the facts. this is a generation who came here prior to 1973. we are not ignoring, we are not ignoring the problem is that some members of this generation are facing. that is

why my right honourable friend the home secretary has said other special team in the home office to deal with their link roads, notjust deal with their link roads, notjust deal with the inquiries but actively help them to help the documentation to clarify their status. that is why we have made the offer that my right honourable friend made of ensuring we can give them formal british citizenship which recognises that they are british but does so in a formal documented way. the problem was, prior to 1973 when the windrush generation came here, they were not given documents, that set up their status. we are now getting that right. we will leave no stone unturned to put that right. mr speaker, in 2013, the then home secretary said it was about creating a really hostile environment and thatis a really hostile environment and that is why she was introducing the legislation. had the windrush generation not mounted the campaign that they have, had members on this

side of the house not raise the matter persistently, there would be no compensation, there would be no review, there would be no apology. mr speaker, any review of legislation needs to be wider than just immigration law. this demands thing —— the dismantling of legal aid provision made the impact of the 2014 immigration act harder to challenge. these policies swept up british citizens and legal migrants causing them immense suffering as she was one. so, can be prime minister sent a clear message today and tell us the hostile environment is over and that are bogus immigration targets that have driven this hostile culture will be scrapped? this hostile culture will be scrapped ? the windrush this hostile culture will be scrapped? the windrush generation have served this country and deserve better than this. we do limit the windrush generation

are british. they have contributed to this country. they have made their life there. dealing with those people who are here illegally, not the windrush generation, they are here legally. there are people who are in this country illegally. and i say to the right honourable gentleman again, i have greeted the right honourable member when he was labour's immigration minister, in 2013 the then shadow home secretary said we need much stronger action from government to bring illegal immigration down. that is... the labour front bench... the labour front bench... the labour front bench... the labour front bench are saying that the windrush generation are illegal. they are not illegal, they are here legally! that is why we are

providing the support to enable them to get the documents for their status. what we are talking about, what the right honourable gentlemen, the leader of the opposition is talking about is whether or not we should deal with illegal emigration and up and down this country the british public will tell him we should deal with illegal immigration. mr speaker, we are talking about the environment created by her as home secretary for six years when she knew feel well, she knew full well of the problems the windrush generation were facing. at last she has been forced to act upon it. last week, the current home secretary admitted the home office sometimes loses sight of the individual. yet we now know that when she took over from her predecessor, her intent was to harden this cruel and misdirected

policy, pledging to do so ruthlessly. a report last month by immigration officials stated the hostile environment measures were not even having the desired effect. they inherited a failing policy and made it worse. isn't it time she took responsibility and resigned? the house must calm itself. we have got a long way to go and a lot of backbenchers' questions to reach. let us hear the prime minister. cani let us hear the prime minister. can i say to the right honourable gentleman that are pinned down this country people want to ensure that the government is taking action against those people who are here in this country illegally, those people

who are here illegally because it isn't fair that people who work hard day in and day out, who contributed this country, who put into the life of this country are seeing people who are here illegally accessing services and the same way. we are acting to ensure that those people who are here legally are given the support that they need. we welcome the windrush generation those many yea rs the windrush generation those many years ago, they are british, they are part of us and we are ensuring that they remain here and are able to continue to live their lives here. but it is also right that this government takes action against those people who are accessing services despite being here illegally and not putting in and computer room —— contributing to this country. if he wants to talk about issues of fairness, if he

wa nts to about issues of fairness, if he wants to talk about the government but his kind, the nurse look and feel what a labour camp would be like. i labour government would wreck our economy, it would damage the bushjobs, wreck our economy, it would damage the bush jobs, destroyed wreck our economy, it would damage the bushjobs, destroyed and end up with debt for future generations. it is not a labour government that is kind orfairto any is not a labour government that is kind orfair to any bedroom. —— anybody. iam sure anybody. i am sure the whole house will want to pass on its condolences to the family of matt campbell who sadly died taking part in the london marathon. we'll be prime and sojoin me in congratulating the 40,000 runners who completed the marathon, raising huge amount of money for local charities and good causes across the united kingdom and in particular the volunteers, the medics and the ambulance staff who made the event as safe as possible.

first of all, may ijoin my honourable friend in paying tribute to matt campbell. i understand his donation page has raised over £140,000 which works inspired runner—up will young people to make positive changes in their lives. i'm sure members across the house will wa nt to sure members across the house will want tojoin sure members across the house will want to join me sure members across the house will want tojoin me in offering condolences to his family and friends. i am condolences to his family and friends. iam happy condolences to his family and friends. i am happy tojoin my honourable friend in congratulating the runners in the london marathon, including those 15 members from the house who can beat it and if i may say so per degree my honourable friend he was the fastest member of parliament. completing it because we should have it on record in three hours and 38 minutes. many congratulations. it is also right that we pay tribute to those ambulance workers and medical staff for all that they did on the data enabled this to take place. thank you, mr speaker. can i put on

congratulations to the duke and duchess of cambridge on the birth of their son and i associate myself with the comments of stephen lawrence. the house of lords and the washerwoman and overwhelm members of this house won the uk to remain in the customs union. —— welsh government. why is the prime minister on the side of the cynical brexiteers, frontbenchers are not working in the interest of all the nations of the united kingdom. the british people voted to leave the european union, to leave the european union, they voted to leave the single market and the union. we well, what we want to ensure is that well, what we want to ensure is that we asa well, what we want to ensure is that we as a country are able to negotiate independently free—trade deals across the rest of the world.

that we are also able to ensure that we deliver on our commitment for no ha rd we deliver on our commitment for no hard border between northern ireland and ireland are that we have as frictionless aboard as possible between the united kingdom and the european union. what business is tommy is that they want that tariff rate frictionless border is that —— and that is what we are negotiating for. the single market and the customs union were not on the ballot paper. the primers to's own government analysis shows almost every sector of the economy, in every sector of the economy, in every region of united kingdom would be negatively impacted the uk least because union. negotiations in brussels are at a standstill because the government breast of ideas of how to deal with the irish issues. why is it thatjobs, living standards, even the good friday agreement are all secondary concerns

to this government? will be primers to this government? will be primers to confirm now that is this place votes in favour of a customs union, that'll be the negotiation position of the government? —— the prime minister confirmed. he is wrong on many of these state m e nts he is wrong on many of these statements he has made. this government is not breast of ideas. if he wants to listen to scottish businesses, he should listen to be businesses, he should listen to be business as he yesterday on the food and drink federation scotland, scottish bakers, said scotland's businesses benefit enormously from existing and largely unfettered uk single market. the snp government in scotla nd single market. the snp government in scotland should listen to that. theresa may perjuring prime minister's questions. lengthy exchanges about the windrush generation. we are going to move

away from that now because we are going to bring you more on the news that has been emerging in the last short while, the danish inventor peter madsen has been sentenced to life in prison without parole for the murder of the swedish journalist kim wall on his submarine. prosecutors said madson had planned to kill ms wall either buyers are forgetting her or cutting her throat. the generalist‘s dismembered remains were found at the 11 days after she had interviewed peter madsen on his vessel. letters go to copenhagen. thejudge saying copenhagen. the judge saying that the idea that this was an accident, this was what faf had claimed, this was somehow an accident was unbelievable. thejudge has said he did not believe peter madsen's version of events. convicting him for the killing of kim wall on board peter madsen's sudbury last year, he

described it as cynically planned killing of a particularly brutal nature but it is important to point out that he said peter madsen had not necessarily planned specifically to kill kim wall until that moment. he had invited a number of other women on board his submarine that summer but they have said no. when giving his verdict, thejudge pointed to other parts of evidence and the fact that kim wall's blood was on his body. it also said that peter madsen was somebody who could not be trusted since he changed his story so many times. he said he dropped kim wore off safely on dry land. and he said a door hatch had fallen on her head and the vision he and his lawyer gave in court that she had died from toxic fumes on board the summer in. thejudge she had died from toxic fumes on board the summer in. the judge said he rejected that affirmation. he is due to face a life sentence, he will be taken to prison directly after thejudge finishes be taken to prison directly after the judge finishes summing up. that

is still going on in the court room behind me. let us hear a bit more background to have the case started. kim wall, a journalist who love to travel. she was about to move to china with her danish boyfriend. but first she had one more story to finish. in the same neighbourhood here in copenhagen where the young couple had been living, she boarded a submarine built by peter madsen. a day later, the submarine sank and he was rescued without him. peter madsen change his story about what happened three times. he initially said he dropped him off safely, then said she had died when a door hatch fell on her head. in court, he admitted cutting up her body but argued she had died from toxic fumes mr breen says. during the trial, the prosecutor peter the picture as a with narcissistic and

who relish watching violent videos and set out to kill the journalist. hejust didn't and set out to kill the journalist. he just didn't care about anything else. he was not so caring about other people, if they could not help them out. if he didn't see it... he might as welljust disappear. the case has grabbed headlines around the world. some have drawn parallels to horror movies. something many here in scandinavia have found upsetting. it isa upsetting. it is a safe area, this is the very unusual case. you have been in touch with kim wall's family during the investigation. how are they doing? they have had a terrible time. missing their daughter and all through the investigation and going to trial, they get to see all the evidence and i cannot imagine what they are going through.

kim's friends relatives has set out a foundation in her memory. they hope she will notjust be remembered for the way she died but as a brave reporter who can continue to inspire others. i understand that madson's legal tea m i understand that madson's legal team are planning to appeal this. yes, they do plan to appeal the life sentence that is then handed down to peter madsen and so we are anticipating more details about exactly how that process will work. but what the judges of this he believes peter madsen should remain in jail believes peter madsen should remain injailand taken believes peter madsen should remain in jail and taken straight after the court hearing ends. he is described asa court hearing ends. he is described as a manipulative person who could potentially cause problems for witnesses in the case. it is clear thejudge witnesses in the case. it is clear the judge believes that peter madsen has shown no rewards for his acts. thank you for that update. let's have a look at the weather.

we're starting on that typical day of sunny spells and scattered showers. they'll become more widespread as we go throughout the afternoon, some heavy and thundery. they will ease across england and wales. a chilly night from three to 7 degrees. fewer showers across much a chilly night from three to 7 de gagergewer shower: wales. much danish inventor peter madsen has

in liverpool withdrew his life support on monday. the brexit secretary has said that mps will be able to amend the motion put before parliament. david davis said he would take the outcome of any vote seriously. two men have been arrested after a liverpool fan was attacked outside anfield last night ahead of the champions league semifinal against roma. 53 old man remains ina semifinal against roma. 53 old man remains in a critical condition in hospital. more on the news that the brexit secretary has acknowledged that mps could send the government back to the negotiating table after a deal has been agreed with the eu. the government has always said that the final brexit vote in parliament would be on a ticket or leave it basis but davis tasers told the commons brexit committee that mps could in theory make changes to it. david davis this morning seemed to

confirm that when mrs may comes back from brussels with a brexit‘s deal, there will be a vote in the commons but significantly, he said that mps will be able to amend that vote in the commons. many people at westminster believe that could be a significant development, possibly paving the way for mps to send mrs may backed the go shooting table if they don't like the deal. i am joined by the labour mp pat mcfadden who has been a campaign on the remain side. how significant is this from david davis? geari remain side. how significant is this from david davis? gear i think it's significant because it is the most open recognition that we've had so far of the new parliamentary arithmetic that has been in place since the general election last year. the government know they have important year. the government know they have im porta nt votes year. the government know they have important votes coming up on the customs union amendments to bills but even more important than that is

the resolution the final deal and has been confirmed today, not only that it can be amended but that is parliament votes it down, david davis refused to repeat his previous assertion that would be the end of the matter and we would be leaving the matter and we would be leaving the eu with no deal in place. so i think this is significant and it increases parliament was not leveraging this process. what potentially could be the sorts of amendments which mps might want any final deal? a big crunch point in these talks is going to be the contradiction between the government saying they want to pull out of the customs union, which means erecting trade barriers between us and the rest of the eu and having no hard border in northern ireland. after two years, there has been no resolution to this issue. the government has put forward various things and they've been accused of

magical thinking on this. if this magical thinking on this. if this magical thinking on this. if this magical thinking is not accepted, the government will be forced to choose between these two objectives and so farwe choose between these two objectives and so far we don't know how they're going tojump and so far we don't know how they're going to jump but and so far we don't know how they're going tojump but there and so far we don't know how they're going to jump but there will be votes in parliament on the customs union and it may be that there is a majority in parliament are staying in the customs union. why do they david davis has confirmed this and the leader of the house also confirmed it, given that, to date, the government was my position has within that it mps vote on this deal, we are leaving anyway?m within that it mps vote on this deal, we are leaving anyway? it is ha rd to deal, we are leaving anyway? it is hard to need to see why david davis says anything. but i think the outcome of it is a recognition of the parliamentary arithmetic. the government has already have one defeat on the amendment to the eu withdrawal bill, there will be more big decisions coming back on the customs union and other issues. i think it's good that the government is saying that they will respect the

will of parliament on these issues because the truth is that the red line is that the government have put in place on the customs union, the supermarket and other things, are not necessary consequences of the referendum result. they don't take into account that this is a very narrow result, not 100% to 0%. brexit coming back to the forefront of politics at westminster tomorrow of politics at westminster tomorrow of course we get the symbolic vote on the customs union. the hollywood actress rose mcgowan, the first woman to go public with rape allegations against harvey wines dean says that the claims had a tangible negative impact on her career. she spoke earlier to the victoria derbyshire programme. physically and mentally it did a lot of damage. because his face and name

are everywhere, i will tell you there is something very strange about having this kind of abstract envy about having this kind of abstract e nvy over about having this kind of abstract envy over another victim who doesn't have too see her perpetrator again. there is something really wrong with that frame of mind. and yet that is the truth. my body, i went through horrible, a lot of years actually, of night terrors and i can run from our but i would select all the way through to my mattress. body flashbacks. sound. not being able to be in flashbacks. sound. not being able to beina flashbacks. sound. not being able to be in a small room with men. to not have somebody giant stand over me, looming over me, without kind of short—circuiting in a way. and i am not the only one. when i speak to you here, and i don't meanjust his victims, but i know there are so many out there and i think that is

why my gift and maybe my curse is that i can hear them and i wanted to do some thing about it. did you lose work after that? oh, completely. my crew was on a very work after that? oh, completely. my crew was on a very different directory. sundance darling and ivory were nominated for an independent spirit award you know, cut to... later i am on a show that was much beloved that i was there talking to leprechauns. so that was the calm down and? that's what you're the calm down and? that's what you' re left the calm down and? that's what you're left with? yes. he didn't think to go to television producers and blacklist me. he didn't have power in that arena yet.” and blacklist me. he didn't have power in that arena yet. i have state m e nts power in that arena yet. i have statements to read from his former spokesperson, it is a fiction to suggest any individuals were targeted or suppressed at any time. that is in response to you saying effectively you are blacklisted or

lost work. it's been proven so many times. by semi—people who have come out when peterjackson said it about mira sorvino. she tweeted that she burst into tears because it's something that you have always suspected. but it was hard to prove, impossible to prove, until was proven in the new york times and the new yorker and he can say whatever he wants but i did a movie where the director kept bragging to me about how brave he was hiring me because he said my reputation, which should have been stellar, because i'm a worker amongst workers, and i am a professional. and to constantly have people say things like, at one point, the head of fox studios long time ago said, over my dead body will we ever higher rose mcgowan. and ijust will we ever higher rose mcgowan. and i just thought, will we ever higher rose mcgowan. and ijust thought, what i do these men? what i did these people? oh, i

know. i got raped. men? what i did these people? oh, i know. igot raped. harvey men? what i did these people? oh, i know. i got raped. harvey weinstein continues to deny any allegations of nonconsensual sex. 300,000 people are into debt to illegal moneylenders in the uk. the government has announced a fresh crackdown on lenders who target vulnerable people. more than £100,000 seized from loan sharks will be spent on helping victims. loan sharks by the very nature of them arejust hideous. loan sharks by the very nature of them are just hideous. they really do control people's lives. christie run away to make arrests. they got information about suspected illegal money lending at an address in leeds. they are ready to enter and search for evidence. yellow is there anyone else on the premises? some 300,000 people are indebted to low shock across the uk. more money is

being made available for an investigation like this one here to stamp it out. i was starting to have, literally, nightmares. a massive problem trying to sleep. we spoke to a man who got hooked on these fixed odds betting terminals after his business went downhill. he ran up thousands of pounds of debt by taking a loan from an illegal lender and doesn't want to be identified. i felt permanently anxious. i felt trapped. i felt a real sense of regret and shame, which was destructive in its own way. i didn't know who to turn to. i just have anxiety all the time. i just have anxiety all the time. i just felt a failure. do you have anything on the premises that you shouldn't have? back here, the raid is in full swing and there is a married couple inside. i'm arresting you both for the offence of illegal moneylending. an investigation which is only just moneylending. an investigation which

is onlyjust beginning. the government hopes that the funding boost will support more prosecutions and support for victims. the british system for fire testing and building materials is inadequate and underestimates the ferocity and spread of real flames according to a study commissioned after the g re nfell study commissioned after the grenfell disaster. the association of british insurers say that current procedures fail to reflect how cladding and installation behaves outside her situation. it is called bs 8414 in the jargon, a standard test to prove the materials used in buildings are safe. they set light to a stack of wood and measure what happens. the government did this test after g re nfell tower, but today's report says the test itself is failing. why? because it does not take account of what happens in the real world, what happens in buildings like this. the association of british insurers commissioned their own

tests of the test. they switch 20% of the wood used to start the fire with plastic, which often fuels real blazes. the result, a test fire which was 100 degrees hotter than the standard test with wood. another example, in this test, the panels were installed from bottom to top with no gaps between them. the fire barely gets started. but on real buildings, the facades do have gaps, either by design or poor workmanship. look what happened when that was tested, oxygen driving the fire upwards. we are shocked by the findings, they demonstrate just how out of date the current testing regime is and how important it is to take account of how these building materials are used in practice, notjust how they perform under lab conditions. after the tragedy here, the government asked a senior engineer to review building regulations and testing. she'll report soon. the insurance industry wants one of her findings to be

a rethink of the fire test. tom symonds, bbc news. voters in england will head to the polls next thursday with seats on local councils up for grabs. there has not been a conservative councillor in anfield in liverpool for more than 25 years, our correspondent went there to see how local issues affecting this labour heartland. this is what red passion, pride look like in football. but what about politics? yellow mac oh, my god. they've been overwhelmingly read here since 2010 but before that, yellow. the coalition was seen here as a deal with the devil and

the lib dems paid the price but the cuts that have followed have hurt. what is your number one issue? potholes. just potholes. they are building houses on all the fields. building houses, where are those kids meant to play football now? this is where liverpool football clu b this is where liverpool football club was created back in 1982, a pub where dreams are born. some bigger than others. do think conservatives genuinely think they can make inroads? do you think conservatives genuinely could make inroads in liverpool? we are hoping to. we have some really good young candidates, most of whom weren't actually born when margaret thatcher was in power nationally. what do you make of that? yeah, it's fantasy politics really. one thing people aren't in this city is stupid. they recognise my hands are tied because of the government cuts. the reality is there hasn't been a conservative councillor in liverpool for more than 25 years, but blues and yellows are pinning their hopes on potholes and parks, prompting a renaissance. they're tired of some of the decisions, such as building on our green spaces.

we've got situations like we've got the money to be able to invest in new football stadiums but we're not putting that money into front—line services. funding front—line services here isn't easy. council tax revenue doesn't even cover the cost of adult social care. they say they're trying to invest their way out in housing, in regeneration in once derelict places like this, where the one—time chief exec of liverpool football club club tells me business approach is the right approach. it's tough, right? people want all those front line services provided but there isn't the money and i think the city here and mayor have done a good job of trying to find the right investments to generate some of that income. but front—line services are vital. andy is a support worker with kids in care. it's getting to the point where more children are going into care, right? more families are suffering. when it comes to local election, every party's making a fantasticjob of blaming the council, including the government.

his response, tojoin momentum. but this isjohn durnin, who signed for liverpool in 86. you played with who? kenny dalglish, ian rush. wow. john's father was a labour shop steward, butjohn won't even vote in this election. he'd be turning in his grave now, my dad. one thing when i was old enough to vote he'd probably go to the polling station with me and watch me vote for labour. the liberals are gunning forjohn's a vote, the green party too. precarious times lie ahead, even if they can keep the competition at bay. and in parts of the country we're seeing councils close to bankruptcy and, while i don't know liverpool's finances, it's not hard to imagine that they might be getting close to that point themselves. so far, no—one has come close to stealing the red lead here, but the heat of cuts grows ever more intense. jayne mccubbin, bbc news. the headlines now. a danish inventor

has been jailed for life for life after being found guilty of killing and dismembering swedish journalist kim wall on his submarine. the parents of seriously ill toddler alfi evans will challenge a high court ruling preventing him travelling to italy for further treatment. the brexit secretary says he expects parliament to "uphold" the government's policy of leaving the customs union. this week the bbc is looking at stories about ways that people can act in an increasingly polarised world. crossing divides. back in 2016, more people in lincolnshire and central england veg to leave the eu than anywhere else in the uk. howell will they feel about a new mosque which will be the biggest in the area? a former army veteran who

voted for brexit spent years campaigning against the mosque but has had a change of heart. any form that requires me to tick a box, it is england. not great britain, england. someone came to talk to me and congratulations on flying the flag, he said. what you going to do about those bloody muslims? we had a campaign in the newspaper advising people to ignore them.

i felt that if we need to to build a mosque in lincoln, it would be in the white area. that is the only way we could overcome barriers and work with them. when i first saw you standing there with your poppy on, i thought, thank god. we have got a muslim here wearing the poppy and thatis muslim here wearing the poppy and that is going to go down well with the residents and it did. in your community, some people were saying why are you going there? we have a place of worship but i said that we are working together. we would live in this country, these people have given their lives to save this country. he doesn't stand out any

more in the crowd. he is part of it and people pay him respect. i served in kuwait. with muslims. i served in borneo. with muslims. it makes me feel very proud that i've been accepted. if i look out the window on the left, i can see the cathedral and right, i can see the mosque. east has met west in lincoln and it is lovely. can you change the eating habits of an entire city? in a new bbc one series, celebrity chef and celebrity campaigner hugh fearnley—whittingstall is on a mission to try and do just that as deep as the people of newcastle to the test to try and lose 100,000 lbs

a year. he is also taking on some of the biggest food companies and restau ra nt the biggest food companies and restaurant chains, asking to be more honest about what selling as britain's battle of the bulge could receive more than half of the publishing of by 2050. i've devoted my life to food as a chef, as a writer, i making tv programmes about food and meat, food something to be celebrated, relished and to give us pleasure. above all, to be the foundation of good health. that is what food should be but it's not turning out like that. it is turning into a crazy situation where, for a lot of us, the food we eat is making us ill. two thirds of us are either overweight or obese and if we don't do something about it, change the national diet, frankly, we need the change because over half of this will not only be overall weight by 2050 but obese because we are at risk because of what we're eating. you take seven—year—olds supermarket shopping in the programme and you do something called the cereal test.

before we talk about that, let's have a look at a clip. 59. that doesn't look to you as exaggerating? we're looking at your chocolate stars and pillows. 78 grams. everyone is at the very least pushing double. let's have a look at eva's. 119 grams. you must be hungry, eva. would she eat that much for breakfast? yes. that is at least 27, she's smasher sugar allowance at breakfast. no wonder she is so hyper. do you feel tricked by the label packaging? i feel tricked. i suppose most of us

would be off the mark. this first section the programme leads into some really important stuff about what information are we getting from the big food manufacturers that allow us to make healthy choices or what information are we not getting. there is a very clear system, the 30 grams serving size, even our kids are having more than that and there is the traffic light labelling system. a big red traffic lights tells you there is too much of sugar or salt for example. most manufacturers and supermarkets are on board with is that the two big serial manufactures in the world, nestle and kellogg's, when i started making these programmes, we re refusing to put traffic light labels on their cereal boxes. they put cartoon characters on to get the kids excited and add sugar because then it hits like sugar and a serial but they don't give us the traffic light labels so that is one of those

who went in on in the show and is one of the envisages the first programme. briefly tell us about the challenge you put to the people of newcastle. this is really exciting. one thing we know is that people who are trying to lose weight, they're doing it on their own, it is ready hard. if you have a support network around you, family, friends, everything because much more possible. so we decided to get a support network in the form of an entire city. the whole of newcastle coming together to support each other to eat more healthily, lose some weight and get fitter sit we have called it newcastle can, positive, and to try and get the whole city to lose 100,000 lbs in weight. ina year. do you have plans to follow up on what you're looking at this

programme? absolutely. that's how i like to do the shows, we have 31 hours going out of the next three weeks and a follow—up series audley is one more show coming up later in the year. we'll be coming back to newcastle. we've created an amazing resource for the city, newcastlecan.com, with lots of tips, it's free and everyone can join and only newcastle can other weight loss bit of it that everyone can join the website and use it as a resource so it's really there to help everybody achieve their targets in the coming year. a model for the people and cities to follow? we can roll this out, is very exciting. the programme begins tonight on bbc one at 9pm. here is a look at the weather. an mini heatwave a distant memory.

that means april showers have returned. starting our day beautifully but unfortunately as the morning goes on the showers threaten that. all tied into an area of low pressure sitting into the north—western circulating around that we have got a north westerly flow. showers more widespread the further west you are but some of them have been pushed quite far inland. we close out the day with april showers for many of us. overnight tonight, the showers will ease across in and wales and go back to where the pressure sitting. a chilly start to thursday morning but eastern scotland, much of england and wales, starting off dry and sunny and it may well stay like that

much the. fewer showers around on thursday and chiefly across scotland, northern ireland and perhaps north—west england close to the lake district. highest values by the lake district. highest values by the middle the afternoon 11 or 16 degrees. not the mid to high 20s that we had a week ago. as we move out of thursday towards friday, this area of low pressure will bring more u nsettled area of low pressure will bring more unsettled weather. wetter weather pushing into the south—west, a spell of heavy rain, through cornwall and devon and eventually into wales. perhaps the north of england as well. a disappointing friday for many. further north, wikis and sunny spells showers that averages in struggle, particularly rain, nine to 12 degrees. not going to feel great for the end of the working week. that rain may hang around on saturday morning but be patient. we will get there. it will clear away and the isoba rs will get there. it will clear away and the isobars for weather still going to be physically warm. of the

reasons is we've got this undulating jet at the moment. a significant dip and we are on the north side of the jet and those northerly winds are going to keep up in the weekend. we keep the sunshine and showers going but a cool breeze, particularly on exposed coasts. a danish inventor is sentenced to life in prison for the murder of a journalist on his submarine. kim wall was last seen in copenhagen aboard peter madsen's self—made submarine — her dismembered body was found at sea 11 days later. we'll have the latest from the court.
